MUSIC
In a Register Office or approved premises, the scope for music is a little limited. There is unlikely to be an organ, although a PA system may be available. Again,
there is not usually a grand entrance by the bridal party, nor a triumphal exit after the ceremony. Discuss your requirements and the facilities available with the
Superintendent/Chief Registrar or the proprietor of the approved premises. They will be pleased to oblige you in any way they can.
Music forms an integral part of a church wedding service. It contributes greatly to the atmosphere of the day, and to the air of rejoicing and celebration.
Most churches have an organ and, usually a "resident" organist who will, for a small fee, play on the Big Day. Alternatively, you can perhaps, be arrangement with
the Minister, arrange for your own organist to be present.
If an organ or organist is not available however, most churches have some form of PA system through which music can be relayed to the assembled company.
The choice of music is at the discretion of the bridal couple. As the groom, best man, ushers and guests usually arrive at the church some twenty minutes before the
bride and her retinue, it is normal for appropriate music to be played during this period. The same applies during the time that the register is being signed.
